Five Orchid-throated Beauties: Crusader, Pactolus, Carnival, Crown Jewel, Ladrone. 
¢ xk *k *& *& «(212) (Fischer, 
(Golden Poppy x Premier) If I could grow only three 
yellow glads, I would not scratch my head very long in 
puzzlement as to my choice. They would be Gold, 
Little Gold, and Aureole. For beauty of form I place 
Aureole first; for beauty of color, Little Gold; for a 
combination of both superb form and superb color, 
Gold. Yellow is such an important color, however, 
that one will want not only these three but many 
others. 
Turn to our Starker arrangement of Little Gold on 
page 34. Note the golden color, so much like that of 
the California poppy, the wiry stem, the heavy sub- 
stance, the lavish ruffling. Little Gold is a stunning 
little glad and a consistent producer of miniature 
buggy-whip spikes carrying 4-5 open blooms. Inci- 
dentally, Mr. Starker considered Little Gold a jewel 
for arrangements.

Little Sweetheart ———— 
(240) (Fischer, 1948) (80 days) (Sweetheart x Myrna) 
Here is another of Mr. Starker’s prime favorites for 
arrangements, of which we hope to show you a “living 
picture” in color another year. Our problem with Little 
Sweetheart is not to sell it, however, but to raise 
enough of it to meet the demand! This tiny, waxy 
pure pink with large snowy throat and lavish frilling 
is considered by many the most beautiful miniature 
glad in existence. For myself, if I could grow only 
ten varieties, this would certainly be one of them. 
Little Sweetheart produces the neatest little spikes of 
excellent length, with a fine wiry stem and 5-7 well- 
rounded little florets. We had spikes of this last sum- 
mer so exquisite in their jewel-like perfection that 
they left us speechless. If you are not sure you care 
for miniature glads, leave it to Little Sweetheart to 
convert you.

“We won the Grandchampionship in the Novice class 
at the Champaign County glad show with a lovely 
spike of Little Sweetheart. That beautiful spike was 
nearly smothered with ribbons.” 
—Muriel Winkleblack, Illinois 
“Little Sweetheart ... is one of my all-time favor- 
ites.”
